​
Syntax

value.lt(otherValue) → result

​
Arguments

List of arguments to provide.
​
otherValue
string | number
required
The value to compare with. The type of the value being compared depends on the value used for comparison.

​
Optargs

No optional arguments.

​
Returns

​
result
boolean
Returns true if the first value is less than the second value and false otherwise.

​
Behavior

  • Performs less than comparison between two values.
  • Uses RuloDB’s comparison semantics for ordering and type handling.
  • Can be chained with other logical operators for complex conditions.

​
Notes & Caveats

  • Comparison behavior depends on the data types being compared.
  • String comparisons use lexicographic ordering.

​
Example

​
Filter users that are younger than 21

Filter for users where the age is under 21. 
await r
  .table('users')
  .filter((doc) => doc.age.lt(21))
  .run(client);

​
Filter low value orders

Filter for orders where the value is less than 100. 
await r
  .table('orders')
  .filter((doc) => doc.value.lt(100))
  .run(client);
